More about this scene
Some ten years later than W164006 and W164004 (page 44), this photograph looks south along Wallasey Village with Leasowe Road going off to the right. The bollards and zebra crossing have gone, to be replaced by a large floral roundabout, and the road has been considerably widened with the demolition of some buildings. Tesco (centre) is now an interior design shop.
